Deleting a RAID Volume

NOTE:

While this procedure deletes the RAID 1 volume, it also splits the RAID 1

volume into two non-RAID hard drives with a partition, and leaves any existing data
files intact. Deleting a RAID 0 volume, however, destroys all data on the volume.

Manager

→ Intel Matrix Storage Console to launch the Intel Storage

Utility.

2 Right-click the Volume icon of the RAID volume you want to delete, and

select Delete Volume.

3 On the Delete RAID Volume Wizard screen, click Next.
4 Highlight the RAID volume you want to delete in the Available box, click

the right-arrow button to move the highlighted RAID volume into the
Selected box, and then click Next.
